Hosted by Mark Erik Szoldan (Falcon Archery Malta) in partnership with Archery in Malta, comes another unique Archery experience 🏹
Over the course of four 4-hour sessions, participants will learn and experience the fundamentals of tactical combat archery. The course will focus on developing the following skills:
1. The combat mindset of an archer in battle situations
2. Proper handling of bows and arrows in such battle situations
3. Understanding the difference between tactics and strategy
4. Using the bow and arrow against various enemy types: shield and sword, spear, fully armored opponents, and other archers
5. Teamwork exercises: 2 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 2 vs 3 with different weapon setups — leading up to 5 vs 5, a typical scenario in historical reenactment battle games
6. Final battle games: applying everything learned in a practical, engaging way
The course will include both theoretical and practical elements, with a ratio of approximately 10% theory and 90% hands-on practice.
Techniques covered:
1. Nocking without looking
2. Aiming in hunting and combat scenarios
3. Speed nocking
4. Shooting while moving
5. Shooting at moving targets
6. Shooting at human targets
7. Shooting at human targets with different levels of protection
8. Moving in coordinated groups
9. Working together as a unit: protection and synergy
10. Supporting other units
11. Volley fire vs. direct fire
12. Tactics: offensive and defensive approaches
13. Strategy: creating advantageous scenarios
14. Strategy: breakthroughs (rapid bursts) vs. steady or stationary fighting
15. Adapting to different enemy numbers
16. Maintaining the warrior mindset: focus, teamwork, support, and the pursuit of victory.
Structure of the Sessions
14:00 – 14:30: Warm-up exercises, including shooting while moving
14:30 – 15:00: Explanation and practice of the day’s techniques
15:00 – 15:30: Coffee break, winding down, casual discussion
15:30 – 16;30: Repetition and reinforcement of techniques
16:30 – 18:00: Battle games with two teams (units of 3 or more, depending on the number of participants).
Unique elements
1. Video Analysis: Battles will be recorded with drones or standard cameras, allowing us to analyze footage during breaks and discuss improvements.
2: TBC
3. Final Session – Extended War Game: The final battle on the 4th session will be longer, with reduced practice time to allow for a full-scale War Game. Participants will reflect on how their skills have evolved over the course of the workshop.
